Title: Improvements in or relating to Electrically Lighting Gas Burners.
Inventor: DELAGE MARCEL
Filed: 1910-05-07
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 11,362. Delage, M., and Woog, P. May 7, 1909, [Convention date]. Lighting burners by electric devdces.-An arranaement for electrically lighting gas burners by oscillatory high-frequency currents comprises two circuits, one of which contains a battery 1, Fig. 1, a self-induction coil 2, a trembler 3, and a condenser 4, the second circuit comprising a condenser 6, the trembler 3, and one or more primary windings of lighting-coils, with corresponding switches. The gas is lighted by operating the switch 5 and one of the switches 7. The pushes 5, 7 may be replaced by a rubbing contact driven by a clock-work distributor, as shown in Specification 6154/10. The arrangement may be applied to railway vehicles &c. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, coils 15, 16 are added for respectively turning off and on the gas valve by means of pushes 17, 7, the ends 18 being earthed. General lighting may be obtained by means of a clock-work movement, the contact 9 being rotated over the contacts 11 to open the valves, the arm 12 carrying contacts 13, 14 then closing both circuits to produce lighting sparks. In a further modification, shown in Fig. 6, by means of a double contact 19 at each lighting apparatus, the first circuit is closed by putting to earth one pole of the trembler, the second circuit being closed by placing to earth the second pole of the condenser through a transformer coil 8. Valve opening and closing coils 16, 15 may also be added, and, in a further modification, the arrangement is simplified by employing a single line wire and separate single contact switches. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, a rocking-lever normally bears upon a spring contact 22. When the button 7 is pressed, the valve 16 is opened, while at the same time the electro-magnet shifts the lever from the contact 22 to the contact 23 to close the ignition circuit. In a further arrangement, shown a!so with valve-actuating coils, a single line-wire per group of lamps is used, with one switch for a single series of contacts.

Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 16,106. West, W. B. July 6. Brakes, arrangement and disposition of; relay or power apparatus; controlling different functions by the same handle or lever.-In air brakes for automobiles in which the brakes are applied directly by air stored in a reservoir by a pump actuated by the driving-gear, and in which the pump is automatically declutched when a certain pressure is obtained in the reservoir, and the front brakes are applied a short time after the rear brakes, means are provided for disengaging the driving-clutch of the vehicle simultaneously with the application of the brakes, and the front brakes are arranged to be applied equally well in all positions of the steering-wheels. The reservoir 11 is charged by a pump 9, Fig. 3, driven bv an eccentric 6, which is loosely mounted on the motor shaft 2 but may be geared thereto by a clutch 29. When the pressure in the reservoir has reached the desired limit, a spring - pressed piston mounted in a cylinder 13 communicating with the reservoir is moved so as to disengage the clutch 29 by means of bell-cranks 20, 25 and a rod 23. The reservoir 11 further communicates by a pipe 32, Fig. 1, and three-way cock 31 with a brake cylinder 33, the piston 34 of which is connected to the rear brakes 43, 48. The piston 34, during its movement for application of the rear brakes, uncovers a port 78, which communicates by pipes 55, 56, 57 with the cylinders 58, 59 of the front brakes, which are then applied subsequently to the rear brakes. The cock serves to apply and release the brakes and is operated by a rod 72, Fig. 7, which passes through the centre of the steering-pillar and is fitted at its upper end with a hand-lever 74 arranged above the steering-wheel 77. The levers 37, 38, Fig. 1, operated in the manner described above, are connected to levers 50, 51 pivoted at 50<1>, 51<1>, so that the driving-clutch 52 of the vehicle is disengaged simultaneously with the application of the rear brakes. In order to allow for application of the front brakes in all positions of the steering-wheels, the pistons 62, Figs. 5 and 6, of the front brake cylinders are arranged with their rods 63 vertically above the pivots 64 of the steering- axles 66, and the rods 63 are moreover formed with arms 67 which are connected to yokeshaped brake blocks 68 engaging the hubs 69 of the wheels.

Abstract: 20,572. Weller, F. W. Sept. 3. Actuating; lift valves. - A lift valve, particularly adapted for controlling the flow of gas from a cylinder in which it is stored under pressure, is normally held to its seat by two springs, one 14 stronger than the other 12, and adapted either to be opened positively or by the fluid pressure on the valve member acting against the weaker spring when the load due to the stronger spring is removed. The stronger spring 14, bears at one end against an adjustable abutment 15 secured to the tubular casing 6, and at the other end against a collar 13 on the actuating-spindle 9. The weaker spring 12 bears against the other side of the collar and against the valve member 8, which is connected to the spindle so that it is moved in one direction by the end of the spindle, and in the other by a collar 10. The lower end of the spindle is adjustably connected to links 20 pivoted to a member 19 sliding on the casing and coupled by an adjustable link 17 to a treadle 16.
